We combine top-tier consulting pedigree with experience as operating executives to bring a strategic and operational skill-set to bear in company-specific situations. One of the most distinctive aspects of our business model is our network of industry executives in our sub-sectors.

Capital Programs and Infrastructure Asset Strategy. Real-estate opportunities often emerge individually. In that context it can be difficult to focus on the whole portfolio and easy to lose sight of broader strategic goals. At the same time, today’s ever-changing market conditions can quickly render existing strategies ineffective and expose a company to risk. In our experience, comprehensive strategies that balance long-term value creation and appropriate risk considerations are crucial to success. We assist clients in developing a strategy that addresses three core dimensions—geographic focus, asset class focus, and role in the value chain. At the same time, by identifying risk categories, we ensure that clients properly manage risk. In recent years we have worked closely with clients to assess various strategic questions including scale-up opportunities across cities, portfolio mix classes, financing and appropriate debt levels, and ownership and development structures.

We collaborate with organizations across all industries to reimagine and transform real estate from a cost center to a competitive advantage by delivering spaces, technology, and experiences that unlock heightened productivity and delight employees and customers. Our global real estate team works closely with related practices—including corporate finance, organization, and operations—to constantly test, improve, and expand our tools and knowledge. Through extensive client service we have developed best practices for core real estate processes such as project budgeting, design and engineering, project management, project approvals, and risk management.

Our partners and experts are well versed in both top-down strategic approaches and the innovation needed to compete in a global economy marked by disruptive technology and property markets. To support those structures we assist clients in defining decision rights and performance-management processes. We take a holistic approach to address the pricing potential and sales and marketing strategy for a project. We help make better investment decisions by using advanced analytics and a detailed knowledge of tenants. Our unique understanding of shifts in tenant needs, familiarity with market trends, and use of traditional and nontraditional data allow us to provide careful diligence on critical decisions.
